In Japan, Brons is considered as one of the most important Schubert interpreters of our time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During his extensive career Willem Brons performed with the Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Residentie Orkest and the Rotterdam Philharmonic, with conductors such as Bernard Haitink, Willem van Otterloo, Hans Vonk, Edo de Waart, Charles Mackerras, Francis Travis, Andr\u00e9 Vandernoot, David Zinman and Lamberto Gardelli. Abroad, Brons performed with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, l&#8217;Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, and many other international ensembles including various Japanese orchestras. Typical of his versatility is the involvement with <strong>period instruments<\/strong>, in particular the Vienna grand piano from the early 19th century on which Brons has performed all over Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ignition-responsive-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Willem Brons - Johann Sebastian Bach - Prelude in C groot | Podium Witteman\" width=\"760\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dgMi92LnpyM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>J.S.
